In fact, I'd guess most who did spaff the money on the Club one have a minty fresh Gen 1 original or two soullessly encased in acrylic... I don't think people buy exclusives for value for money... In fact, what's the going rate for a decent nick original Piranacon?

It can't be particularly less than $160, and probably isn't much of a difference from anyone reissued (Prowl, Soundwave, and Hound leap to mind as guys who were preposterously expensive pre-reissue... though it's amazing how much people are still willing to fork out for pre-rubs, original MIBs and the like... it's always amazed me, because even in the 1980s Transformers packaging was nothing special) before, apart from maybe Stepper and Soundblaster.

I have all of the G1 Seacons except Overbite - loose, because I wanted to play with them a bit. What's funny is that a complete Overbite usually hits somewhere around $40-$60 on Ebay as it is.

I suppose its a questionable reissue in its own right, although they've done worse...

When I was a kid and the things were on store shelves, I viewed the Seacons as a waste of time - to me, Predaking was the ultimate combiner and going *back* to the "Scramble City" design type seemed like a throwback to me.

Hello! I have just joined your site. I hope you are all well

I bought the Club Seacons. I like the colours better than the originals (mainly 'cos I can envisage them swimming about in Cybertron's murky waters and looking a bit threatening. That wouldn't really work if you were er, neon pink and green!). I have also played with them loads! Hell, I spent enough on them joining the club for a year so they demand to be played with! And I liked the packaging too!

And...And..1980s Packaging was nothing special?! Those beautiful pieces of character art? The ace freizes on the back of the box? I love them! The only one that was a bit rubbish was Shockwave's. He looks like he's drunkenly staggering and about to poke someone in the neck with his gun arm.

I like the basic graphics, but the boxes themselves reek of cheap American shit - plastic bubbles, thin card. Made to be thrown away. Give me Popy, Takatoku, Clover or Tomy any day. I mean, blister cards. Yuck.

THE ONE KNOWN AS HALFSHELL SPEAKS THE TRUTH IN THIS MATTER. HOWEVER, NOW THAT OUR WAYS HAVE BEEN REVEALED, WE NEED A NEW FAN TO MONITOR FOR SUCH ACTIONS. THE ONE KNOWN AS MAJU GARZETT WILL COME FORWARD AND SUBMIT HIS ADDRESS FOR OBSERVATION. WE HAVE SPOKEN.

Question to folks here who have preordered items from BBTS before, do you get any sort of notification before they charge your credit card? I want to preorder this set, as I have wanted Seacons for a very long time after having my originals from my childhood thrown away, but I'm worried about the cash not being in my account when the buggers actually ship. I've been having a lot of medical problems for the past 3 months and money is really tight right now, and it would suck if BBTS charged me when money wasn't there, because overdraft charges cost like hell with my bank.

I've pre-ordered one thing before, and they only notified me when it shipped.

On the checkout page, you can choose "I will select payment method when this item is ready to ship." When they get the item in stock, you'll get an email saying, "Preorder item available - payment due" or something like that. You can also pay them with paypal if you've got one, or a money order. They're really flexible.
